Your Sinclair Magnificent 7 July 1991

The cover-mounted cassette with issue 67 of Your Sinclair magazine contained
an exclusive game, and one which had never previous been released outside of a
compilation. The former is Brainsport , a puzzle game inspired by Soko Ban.
The screen displays a maze with corridors of varying lengths, some bricks, and
the same number of designated spaces to park bricks in. Bricks can be pushed
by the player’s character, who follows the same maze restrictions as the
bricks, but only a single brick can be pushed in any direction. This, coupled
with the narrow corridors, can cause the player to get stuck. Points are not
awarded until a level is completed; these are made up of points for the level
difficulty, points for each block, and a bonus if the level is completed
quickly enough. Each level also has passwords.

The second game which had not previously been on wide release is Double
Agent , an unusual interactive fiction title. Only two members of a team send
to the planet Marego survived an enemy attack, and they only exist as shells
of themselves who can be guided by your instructions. Therefore, when guiding
them on a mission to collect the energy-giving substances you need from this
doomed planet, you can swap between the two players. This happens
automatically ever time one of them moves, but can also be triggered by the
player.

There are also two former commercial games – Activision’s terrorist-fighting
adventure Hijack and Hewson’s early 3D shooter Ad Astra. Additionally there
are demo versions of retro-style shooter Megaphoenix and strategy game
Cromwell at War, and POKE cheats for several games.
